Reading Time Calculator

Estimate minutes using a rate and counting unit you choose.

How it works

Paste your text, choose the options and run. Review the result before copying.

Minutes are rounded up. Default 200 words/min or 300 non-space characters/min for Japanese/Chinese is an adjustable model, not measured personal speed.

Example

A quiet morning.

Write one clear sentence.

Limits

Up to 1 MiB total UTF-8 input. Line operations normalize CRLF/CR to LF. Processing stops after 5 seconds.

Word segmentation is approximate and varies by language/browser.

Intl.Segmenter is unavailable: approximate word counting and code-point character counting are used.

Choose a rate from 1 to 10,000.
